About Me

Born and raised on O‘ahu, Catherine Toth Fox has been chronicling her adventures in her blog, The Cat Dish (www.thecatdish.com), for nearly a decade. She worked as a newspaper reporter in Hawai‘i for 10 years and continues to freelance — in between teaching journalism, hitting the surf and eating everything in sight — for national and local print and online publications.

Her assignments and travel blogs have taken her around the world — lounging in an outdoor onsen in Fukushima, Japan during a snowfall; cuddling koalas in Brisbane, Australia; sampling macarons in Paris; planting native trees in Hakalau on the Big Island; hiking a volcano in Costa Rica; eating stroopwafel at a street market in Amsterdam; surfing at Cloud Break in Tavarua, Fiji; eating coagulated pig blood at a night market in Taipei City; snorkeling in the pristine waters off the private island of Ni‘ihau.

Catherine currently lives Honolulu with her farmer husband and their three dogs — Sunny, Indy and Opae, affectionately known as the #ratterpack — and an extensive collection of surfboards.
